I'm surprised, he was such a well spoken, policy driven candidate, you wouldn't think he would just roll over like this.

After his call with Trump immediately after the assassination attempt I'm not surprised. They said he straight up asked if he dropped out in support of him, if he could have a cabinet position. The Trump campaign was a little hesitant because of the quid pro quo implication.

RFK was always there to steal votes to help trump. The problem is, he was too conservative and was taking votes from trump instead. So, they adjusted course and he is now just a trump surrogate.

Trump didn't have to promise him much to get him to roll over.

At least a new Trump administration would be consistent: it'd be brain damaged people at every level.

Rumor is that Trump offered RFK Jr, an anti-vaccination conspiracy theorist, the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Interesting like watching a train go off a broken bridge into a ravine.
